BADN collaborates with the British Dental Conference and Dentistry Show 2020

  Posted by: Dental Design      7th October 2019

2020 is the 80^thanniversary of the founding of the British Association of Dental Nurses (BADN) – originally called the British Dental Nurses’ and Assistants’ Society, and later the Association of British Dental Surgery Assistants – the UK’s professional association for dental nurses. 

Closer Still Media (CSM) and BADN are therefore delighted to announce that the 2020 National Dental Nursing Conference will be held as part of the British Dental Conference and Dentistry Show (BDCDS), at the NEC Birmingham on 15 and 16 May 2020. BADN will once again chair the Dental Nurses’ Forum at the Show, offering eleven different speakers over the two days (more than 8 hours of CPD) on a wide range of subjects relevant to dental nursing. Entry to the Forum is open to all dental nurses.

In addition, BADN members will be able to relax in the BADN lounge, adjoining the BADN stand at L95, where coffee and cake will be available each day at 11am. Entry to the Lounge will require proof of current BADN membership.

Alex Harden, Show Director, the British Dental Conference and Dentistry Show, said “We are delighted to be working with BADN once again. Our goal is to provide first-class education for each member of the dental team every year, and our collocation with BADN for 2020 will help to ensure that we deliver this for dental nurses. The show also offers a platform for dental nurses to network and enjoy time with friends and colleagues, making it an enjoyable yet productive learning experience for all.”  

Jacqui Elsden, BADN President-elect, said “BADN welcomes the opportunity to support, once again, the British Dental Conference and Dentistry Show and, in particular, the Dental Nurse Forum in May 2020. We have an interesting programme and, as President during this momentous year, I am looking forward to chairing the Forum. In addition, BADN are preparing some additional celebratory opportunities for members at the event, and throughout 2020. The British Dental Conference and Dentistry Show underpins part of BADN’s vision, which is to encourage dental nurses to progress their lifelong learning opportunities, and it will be a good opportunity to do just that. 2020 is a special year for BADN, so why not visit us on stand to discuss how we can make a positive difference for dental nurses during the next 80 years. I look forward to meeting you all next May.”

BADN will also be holding an Anniversary Afternoon Tea at the NEC Hilton on Saturday 16 May 2020.  Full details will be available on the BADN website shortly.
